Pasting text into copilot does not work right if a '<' character is present.

Question

Pasting text into copilot does not work right if a '<' character is present.

Anonymous

Title. Code or any other text that contains a '<' cannot be properly pasted into the prompt textbox. Trying to paste any XAML for me just results in blank text.

While I'm here, please ease up on the imessage-like look for message thread; there is so much wasted space in the copilot discussion thread now, while my messages and responses have gotten significantly longer vertically and harder to read with how horizontally squished they are. This is especially true for code examples provided by copilot.

I have the same issue. Sophia it would be helpful if you took it upon yourself to put the issue in the correct place rather than pushing that burden on to the customers.

Dear Dominick Fetters,

Good day!!

I understand your concern but since it's related to Copilot, I would like to suggest you to post your concern in the related communities i.e., Copilot for Microsoft 365 - Microsoft Community Hub & Ask a question - Microsoft Q&A with Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 tag to get the detailed help from the experts.

Apologies for redirecting you to different community as the members in the category posted focus on the users with out of the box concerns on Microsoft 365, and have limited knowledge on the Copilot; so to get the fast and better assistance, we have redirected you in the correct path.

Appreciate your patience and understanding. Have a great day!!

Best Regards,

Sophia
